The Miss Inver Grove Heights Royalty Ambassadors attended the Crowning Achievements event in New Richmond, Wisconsin on Saturday, November 4th. This event was a lot of fun. They had a photo booth that we all did along with a raffle. I got to see a tiny village outside the event that was fun. It was great to see all the wonderful and courageous candidates. I loved seeing them get crowned. The entertainment portion of the event was fun to see, they all did so great! This is a wonderful program for so many.

  

On Thursday, October 26th, we volunteered at the Good Samaritan Society’s spaghetti dinner fundraiser. We greeted people as they came in, and we took orders and delivered the food. Some of our sponsors came to the event, and we got to talk with them. At the end of the dinner, we got to eat. There was mac and cheese in addition to the spaghetti. The food was amazing. It was really fun to see everyone and talk to some new people.

This past Friday night, my royal sisters and I attended the Boo Bash at the Veteran’s Memorial Community Center. We helped at the art station with paper pumpkins and sketch art. We also helped with the bouncy house. We were responsible for making sure that there weren’t too many kids in the bounce house and to jump safely. I saw lots of costumes, mostly troll, princess, and Spider Man costumes. The royalty came in our Toy Story costumes. We were all allowed to dance at the end and it was a lot of fun. The fruit punch was really good, too! It was a super fun night!

On October 28th, the Inver Grove Heights Royal Court attended the Cottage Grove Strawberry Festival Monster Bash Parade! The temperature outside did not dull our spirits, even though it was very cold! The theme for our costumes and parade float was Toy Story. I was Buzz Lightyear, Felicia was Woody, Ashley was Little Bo Peep, Grace was Rex, Piper was Barbie, and Cheyanne was Jessie. Our float even won First Place Most Creative! My favorite part was singing along to the audio track we had connected to our float. Toy Story is one of my favorite movies so I know almost all the words! We had such a fun time meeting other royalty groups, seeing the Girl Scouts, and decorating our float! We are all so glad this was the first parade of our rein and we can not wait to attend more!

On October 14th, my royal sisters and I had the opportunity to attend and help at the Gerten’s Pumpkin Fest. Although it was a rainy afternoon, spirits were high as everyone enjoyed activities in the greenhouse. We greeted the people attending, gave delicious apple tastings, read stories with the younger guests, and helped in running the fun games there, such as Boo Tac Toe. In addition to these things, the Pumpkin Fest also offered pumpkin painting, a demo on pumpkin carving, Halloween face painting, and scarecrow making. It was a great day, and we were all very happy to be a part of it!

This summer I collected toiletries and person items from people for Cory and Connie’s closet, I had 2 boxes and a bag full of things, I gave half of it to the South St. Paul High School and the other half to Simley High School. Cory and Connie’s closet is an organization where they have personal items for student who can’t get those things themselves, In Dakota county there is over 800 homeless children. This program makes it easier for them
